Leadership concepts

Discussion #2

Directions:  Reflect on each of the previous seven weeks. Briefly describe seven leadership concepts (one from each week) that you can apply to your leadership career. Be as specific as you can.  Consider both information from the course materials and the experiences you had in your group work.  Whenever referencing concepts from course materials, be sure to provide in-text citations and references. Post due by Saturday at 11:59 p.m. 

Respond to a minimum of three classmates by Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. eastern time in the following manner: select ONE of the concepts highlighted by your classmate and describe how you could also use that new knowledge in your leadership career.

(Note the Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. Discussion deadline.)

• Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.


• Direct quotes are NOT allowed if they are quotation from course materials. This means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document. You are to put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage, using the correct APA in-text citation format,  to the source document. In other words, once you paraphrase a source document, the source document must be shown in an in-text citation.

You put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage, using the correct APA  in-text citation format, to the source document.  Not using direct quotation marks means that there should be no passages with quotation marks and instead the source material is paraphrased as stated above. 


• Provide the page or paragraph number when using in-text citations.  Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.   


• You may only use the course material from the classroom.  You may not use books or any resource from the Internet.
